These sentences from the post above are typical of your disjointed arguments on this thread.

First you admit that religious denominations are separated from the State by the establishment clause. --

-- Then you insist that "Natures God' wrote the laws of nature, a denominational belief.

-- Followed up by another denominational holding that it is "Gods design" that we have self-government and religious toleration.

--- And capped off with your belief in "King Jesus", which is fine, but inappropriate to the topic.

Joe, do us all a favor, and preach your denominational religious views on the religion forum.

Sorry Pain, this thread is about the Christian roots of our form of government. People like you want keep out of government anyone whose view of the divine inspiration of our laws and form of government is consistent with the views of the Founders of the Republic.

You can degrade and malign the religious philosophical roots of our nations founding, but in doing so you are on the side of tyrannical repression and stand in opposition to American values and traditions.

The Declaration of Independence clearly states that the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" entitle us to govern ourselves.

Is the Declaration of Independence unconstitutional too, along with Thanksgiving, Christmas, school prayer, the pledge of allegiance, and every State Constitution?

Your outright rejection of the principles this nation was founded upon show that either you are completely ignorant of what these principles were, or you misrepresent yourself as a champion of liberty when in fact you are an enemy of religious freedom, and therefore an enemy of the Republic.
